Psycho (1960) - Will's Review

Once again, I'm going to assume that if you're reading this you have either seen Psycho, or absorbed enough horror knowledge to have had it spoiled for you.

On the off chance that you are in that 0.01% of the population who do not know what surprises the movie holds, please I BEG YOU go and see it now... You camera check out my spoiler-free notes on my own blog HERE, but please, please, read no more on the subject than that until you have seen this masterpiece.

Psycho (1960) - Lisa's Review


This is a movie I've watched several times and the same thing remains true every time I've seen it... I only ever remember 2 scenes (both of which you'll catch in any horror movie countdown).   Try as I might (and I did again tonight), I can't retain any kind of attention for this movie.  I find it dull, dull dull!!!  Yes, I know, I know!  Hitchcocks best film (bollox), a work of art (cough).  I just don't like it.

I will happily concur with the fact that the films score by Bernard Herrman is outstanding.  It is without doubt that the use of the soundtrack was what made the famous shower scene so effective (that's one of the scenes that I manage to retain).  It sets a mood for the whole movie and manages to keep everyone perpetually on the edge of their seats, allowing for a few spectacular jumps.
